I need anti-theft help please
Next week I will be leaving my home in Palm Beach County Florida and will be headed to Indianapolis, Indiana to pick up a dragster I had built. I have a 2005 6.0 4x4 crew cab and will be towing a 30' Pace trailer. My question is what can I disconnect when I park in the hotel parking lot for the evening to make sure it will be there when I return? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Bowtiehatr,
First thank you for a wealth of information you share with us!! Some time ago I was also a Ford Tec, ASE Master, but I have not twisted wrenches in some time and have no desire to other then play. <O

Question is could a switch be wired to the trigger wire of the ficm relay to act as a kill switch. Thanks in advance!!

Very good, thank you! On a nothing better to do day that sound like a good project. With the rash of stolen trucks in TX might be good for them also.

After my SD was broken into and the ignition was broken...my solution until the tow truck came (the next day)...was to pull the fuel pump fuse. I believe on the 2005 SD's it is #40. Yes...it would start, but not get very far.
I did this since my SD was so vulnerable for that evening. Now I have an alarm system with an engine disable feature...which works even if I do not activate the alarm. The engine will not start.
Good luck…and hope you have a good safe trip.
